NOTE: If you notice that your Desktop folder is located in another directory, then one of the cloud storage applications changed Desktop location. You may either disable Desktop sharing with Parallels virtual machine (VM configuration > Options > Sharing > Share Mac > Configure… > uncheck Desktop and click OK), or to revert Desktop location to its original location using the instructions below.

Note corresponding path to your original macOS Desktop folder.

In this test case it is a link to the Dropbox location.

Move macOS Desktop folder from the current path to its default location.

mv /Users/parallels/Dropbox/Desktop ~/
